Roman Public Life

His first book Infamia, its place in Roman Public and Private Law was published at Oxford in 1894. Infamia is the term for loss of civil honour, and Abel made an interesting contribution to the knowledge of Roman legal practice by demonstrating that its legal aspect was quite secondary to its moral and social significance. There followed a Handbook of Greek Constitutional History (1896) in which he gave a narrative of the main lines of development of Greek Public Law, Roman Public Life (1901) in which he traced the growth of the Roman constitution and showed the political genius of Romans in dealing with all the problems of administration they had to face and The Legal Procedure in Cicero’s Time Oxford (1901) a systematic and historical treatment of civil and criminal procedure, which was the most important of Abel Hendy Jones’ completed works. Несмотря на то, что была проведена серьезная работа по восстановлению первоначального качества издания, на некоторых страницах могут обнаружиться небольшие "огрехи": помарки, кляксы и т. п.
